Small Size, Big Impact: Making Miniaturized Optics More Sustainable
The demand for miniaturization in optical systems is growing rapidly across many industries, such as automotive, consumer electronics, healthcare, aerospace, and defense. Miniaturization enables smaller, lighter, more efficient, and potentially more cost-effective optical systems.
Miniaturized optics can also deliver important sustainability benefits that align with corporate environmental goals, including:
- Reduced material usage
- Lower energy consumption
- Less waste
However, maximizing the sustainability of a given micro-optics product system, as well as its end-to-end design, production, and usage life cycle, is challenging for many product development teams.
To address this hurdle, world-leading product development teams use purpose-built optics simulation software to maximize the sustainability of their miniaturized optics designs.
